Definitions
- the invention relates to a surveillance detector comprising a light emitter and a light guide which is optically connected to the light emitter, which light guide includes reflectors mounted therein.
- Such a surveillance detector is known from European patent publication No 0 817 148 to the legal predecessor of the present Applicant.
- the known surveillance detector comprises two light guides disposed along the circumference of a window of the detector, one of which light guides is optically coupled to a light emitter, and the other is being optically coupled to a light receiver.
- a light beam is built up above the window, the shape of which light beam is such that when an attempt is made to approach the window with an object, the light reflection from said object will result in a change in the light intensity being detected on the side of the light receiver, as a result of which an alarm will be activated.
- this makes it possible to detect each and every attempt to approach or damage the window or cover it, for example by means of a substance such as a spray.
- the object of the invention is to improve the surveillance detector that is known from European patent publication No 0 817 148 in the sense that it will be of simpler design and that it can be used for a wider range of applications.
- a surveillance detector of the kind referred to in the introduction is to that end characterized in that the light guide is capable of converting the light from the light emitter at least in part into a light beam to be built up in the space to be kept under surveillance, and in that the light guide is capable of guiding light from the light beam that is reflected by an object in the space to be kept under surveillance to a light receiver of the detector, which is optically coupled to the light guide.
- the light guide is optically coupled both to the light emitter and to the light receiver, and consequently it functions as a guide both of emitted light and of received light, depending on the direction in which the light propagates.
- the light guide primarily functions to detect attempts at sabotage in the vicinity of the present surveillance detector in the space to be kept under surveillance, i.e. to detect each and every attempt to approach or damage the present surveillance detector or cover it, for example by means of a substance, such as a spray.
- the invention primarily relates to the detection by means of the light guide of attempts at sabotage in the vicinity of the present detector in the space to be kept under surveillance, in which the surveillance detector acting as a motion detector ("burglar detector”) can function in a manner which is known per se : i.e. as a passive sensor (see US 4,321,594), as an active sensor (see US 4,647,913) or as a combined passive/active sensor (see US 4,195,286) .
- the light beam propagates convergingly from a light guide surface that faces towards the space to be kept under surveillance. In another preferred embodiment, the light beam also propagates divergingly from a distance of 5 - 100 cm, preferably 20 - 30 cm, from the light guide surface that faces towards the space to be kept under surveillance.
- this provides a possibility of timely detection both of approaching "black” objects, i.e. at least substantially light-absorbing objects, and of approaching "white” objects, i.e. at least substantially light-reflecting objects, at a secure distance from the present surveillance detector. Consequently, the detector exhibits homogeneous sensitivity in the sense that "black” and "white” objects are detected within a secure distance margin.
- the light guide is capable of guiding part of the light from the light emitter to the light receiver before said light exits the detector.
- the light guide is capable of guiding 1 - 50%, preferably 5 - 30%, of the light from the light emitter to light receiver before said light exits the detector.
- the light from the light emitter that is guided to the light receiver by the light guide before it exits the detector comprises, at least in part, light which is reflected from the light guide surface that faces towards the space to be kept under surveillance.
- a lower limit or reference signal is obtained, below or above which the light receiver can activate an alarm.
- the light guide comprises retroflectors for reflecting light which is being scattered back into the light guide to the light receiver, as a result of which the sensitivity of the surveillance detector is enhanced.
- the light guide guides the light to the light receiver by means of another light guide, which includes reflectors mounted therein.
- another light guide which includes reflectors mounted therein.
- said other light guide guides the light to the light receiver via a light-transmitting window of the detector, behind which said light receiver is disposed.
- the window comprises an outwardly extending projection.
- the projection is preferably located near the optical axis of the light receiver so as to effect an efficient interception of light rays from the other light guide and subsequently direct said light rays at the window so as to increase the percentage of the light that is received by the light receiver. In this way, the sensitivity of the present surveillance detector is enhanced.
- said other light guide tapers off into a pointed shape, adjoining surfaces of which form internal reflection surfaces which are inclined at a certain angle so as to cause the light to exit along a desired path.
- the surveillance detector comprises alarm means for generating an alarm in the case that the light received by the light receiver corresponds to a signal value which is higher than a maximum level or lower than a minimum level .
- the surveillance detector comprises a passive sensor for detecting an object entering the space to be kept under surveillance.
- Said passive sensor is in particular a passive infrared sensor.
- the surveillance detector comprises an active sensor for detecting an object entering the space to be kept under surveillance, in which said active sensor comprises a wave signal source and a wave signal detector coupled thereto.
- Said wave signal source and said wave signal detector preferably operate on the basis of ultrasonic waves or microwaves, with acoustic and electromagnetic coupling, respectively.
- Figure 1 is a schematic, perspective view of a surveillance detector according to the invention
- Figures 2 and 3 are schematic views of a first light guide used with the surveillance detector of Figure 1
- - Figure 4 is a schematic view of a second light guide used with the surveillance detector of Figure 1
- Figure 5 schematically shows the way in which the first and second light guides and the other components of the surveillance detector of Figure 1 are optically coupled
- Figure 6 is a schematic view of the principle of operation of the first light guide.
- FIG 1 there is shown a perspective front view of a passive infrared surveillance detector according to the invention which is disposed in a space to be kept under surveillance, which detector comprises a housing 1 of plastic material built up of a lower housing 2 and an upper housing 3 mounted thereon, a window 4 and an alarm light 5a.
- the alarm light 5a will light up when an alarm is generated in the case of an undesirable object entering the space to be kept under surveillance.
- the function of an alarm light 5b which is also present will be explained in more detail hereinafter yet.
- a passive infrared sensor in the form of a pyroelectric sensor (not shown in Figure 1) which is sensitive to infrared light in the far infrared wavelength range.
- infrared light having a wavelength of 6 - 50 urn
- the pyroelectric sensor acting as a passive infrared sensor, whereupon an alarm signal will be generated.
- the pyroelectric sensor of the surveillance detector thus functions as a motion detector.
- the surveillance detector is fitted with a so-called "anti- masking" system or "anti-sabotage” system.
- Said system thus functions as a general protection of the surveillance detector against sabotage attempts, in particular attempts to approach, mask or sabotage the detector.
- the aforesaid "anti-masking" system in the first place comprises a light guide 6 formed in one piece of plastic material, in particular polycarbonate, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) , PET (polyethylene naphtalate) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) .
- plastic material in particular polycarbonate, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) , PET (polyethylene naphtalate) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) .
- PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
- PET polyethylene naphtalate
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- the light guide 6 is schematically shown in perspective view
- Figure 3 schematically shows the light guide 6 in top plan view.
- Light rays emitted by a light emitter (not shown in Figures 2 and 3) disposed in the housing 1 fall onto the bottom side of the light guide 6 at the location of a collimator in the form of a collimating lens 7.
- Said collimating lens 7 causes the incident light rays thereon to be transmitted as a substantially parallel light beam to a beam splitter 8 in the form of two adjoining 45-degree light prisms. Internal reflections result in the light rays being deflected through an angle of about 90 degrees by the beam splitter, producing a left-hand (L) light beam and a right-hand (R) light beam.
- the light beam 6 is symmetric relative po a Y-Z plane shown in Figure 2, only the further path of the right-hand (R) light beam will be described hereinafter, since the light path of the lefthand (L) light beam corresponds thereto, albeit in mirror image with respect to the aforesaid plane.
- the reflectors 9,10 cause the light rays from the beam splitter 8 to be deflected through an angle of about 90 degrees in the direction of light prisms 11,12, which in turn deflect the light rays through an angle of about 30 degrees towards the aforesaid Y-Z-plane. Consequently, light propagating from the front side 13 of the light guide 6 will first converge and then diverge.
- Said reflector 14 has a surface exhibiting a curvature which concentrically follows the curvature of the front side of the light guide 6, whilst the surface at the same time extends at an angle of about 45 degrees to the vertical: the surface forms part of a cone, therefore.
- Light rays influenced by the reflector 14 propagate in downward direction towards the (negative) Y-axis (also shown in Figure 2) and exit the light guide 6 from the bottom side 15 thereof ( Figure 5) .
- Light rays which are scattered back to the light guide 6 by an undesirable object entering the space to be kept under surveillance and/or light rays being scattered back in the direction of the (negative) Z-axis on the front side 13 of the light guide 6 will subsequently fall onto a reflector 16.
- the reflector 16 has a surface which is curved in two directions, with two radii of curvature, so that the reflector has a toroid surface: one curvature follows the curvature of the front side 13 of the light guide 6 concentrically, whilst the other curvature lies in the Z-Y-plane, scattering the light back in the direction of the (negative) Y-axis.
- Retro- reflectors 17,18,19,20,21,22 function to invert the light rays being scattered back in the direction of the (negative) Z-axis by the reflector 16 as regards their direction, and consequently direct them towards the (positive) Z-axis, so that said light rays will have a renewed possibility of reaching the reflector 14 and thus exit the light guide 6 from the bottom side 15 thereof.
- the light guide 6 is so designed that about 25% of the light that has been scattered back on account. of the aforesaid causes will thus exit the light guide 6 at the location of the bottom side 15.
- light rays propagating from the bottom side 15 of the light guide 6 in the direction of the (negative) Y-axis originate from light rays moving in the direction of the positive Z-axis (coming from the light emitter, therefore) and from light rays moving in the direction of the negative Z-axis (being reflected by the front side 13 and/or by an undesirable object entering the space to be kept under surveillance, therefore) , in which connection the construction of the light guide 6 as such as well as sabotage attempts, whether wilful or not, occurring in the vicinity of the front side of the light guide 6 play a role.
- the light rays propagating from the bottom side 15 of the light guide 6 subsequently fall onto a rear side 24 of a second light guide 23, bouncing against the surfaces 25, 26 of said second light guide 23 as they move towards the pointed end 27 of said second light guide 23.
- the light guide 23 is so designed that about 50% of the light will arrive directly at said pointed end 27 and will thus be directed to the window 14. The remaining light will bounce against a reflector 28 disposed within the second light guide 23, as a result of which it will be deflected, and consequently it will follow a path away from the window 4.
- the surveillance detector accommodates a light receiver 29 for the above-explained "anti-sabotage" system, a pyroelectric sensor 30, a focussing mirror 31 and the window 4, which components jointly form the optical system of the passive infrared sensor.
- the light receiver 29 receives light rays which, coming from the second light guide 23, scatter through the window 4.
- the construction has been designed such that about 10% of the light passed on by the second light guide 23 will indeed reach the light receiver 29 disposed behind the window 4. This percentage may be increased by forming the window 4 with a structure, which can be done by adding pigments or minerals and the like to the material of the window 4, by giving the window 4 a texture and/or by forming a relief on the window 4.
- the window 4 has an outwardly extending projection 32 on its front side, which projection functions to intercept light rays coming from the pointed end 27 of the second light guide in an efficient manner and increase the percentage of incident light on the light receiver 29 through scattering. It is preferred to dispose the projection 32 as closely to the optical axis 33 of the light receiver 29 as possible, as is shown in the figure, i.e. at the location where the sensitivity of the light receiver 29 is greatest.
- the light emitter that has been referred to above is indicated by numeral 34 in Figure 5.
- Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the second light guide 23.
- an undesirable object entering the space to be kept under surveillance can in principle be detected in two ways : incident light on the object can be scattered to the front side 13 of the light guide 6 (the possibility of detection taking place in this way decreases as the aforesaid distance increases); - incident light on the object can be scattered to the window 4 (the possibility of this happening is relatively great because of the relative size of the window 4) .
- a sheet of white paper of 15 x 15 cm is used for sabotaging the present surveillance detector.
- detection will take place first the moment light rays coming from the front side 13 of the light guide 6 illuminate the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the sheet of paper.
- detection takes place at a distance of 30-40 cm from the front side 13 in this case. At that distance a diverging light beam can be observed.
- the detector Since the light beam propagating from the front side 13 on the light guide 6 first converges and then diverges, with the beam splitter 8 blocking light in the direction of the (positive) Z-axis, so that there is a light void (i.e. absence of light rays) in the centre of the converging light beam, the detector exhibits homogeneous sensitivity in the sense that both "white” objects and "black” objects are detected within a relatively small distance margin with respect to the front side 13 of the. light guide 6. In such a case an alarm light 5b will light up and- an alarm will be generated.
- Figure 6 is a highly schematic view of the principle of operation of the first light guide 6.
- the light guide 6 is optically coupled both to the light emitter 34 and to the light receiver 29, and thus functions as a guide both of emitted light and of received light, depending on the direction in which the light propagates.
